Mounting Beam onto TV mount

I've ordered a Beam as it is seems perfect for my requirements. My TV is on a wall mount bracket above a fireplace. I would like to hang the Beam below my TV as there is no wall below the TV to use the Beam mounts (they are all for wall mounting). Does anyone know if the Sanus Playbar TV mount would work ( https://www.sonos.com/en-gb/shop/sanus-playbar-tv-mount.html ) or if not whether there is currently an alternative, many thanks

The Playbar mount won't work for the Beam because they have entirely different footprints and mounting capabilities. That universal mount won't work as the only holes on Beam are on the bottom, to secure it to a shelf-like mount. We have a mount that's both the TV and Beam here: https://www.sonos.com/en-gb/flexson-cantilever-mount-for-beam.html and you could also look into if your TV mount could have mounting brackets attached and you could then use this mount with it: https://www.sonos.com/en-gb/shop/wall-mount-for-beam.html

We don't usually recommend using brackets and mounts that we haven't had the chance to test, but you could try it out if you're interested.

I mounted the beam to my 46” Samsung TV and generic articulating wall mount for the sum total of $27.94. I maybe could’ve done it even cheaper with more research, but this solution was quick and easy with one order of two Amazon items:

Mounting Dream MD5420 Soundbar Bracket Universal Sound Bar TV Mount for Mounting Above or Under TV Fits Most of Sound Bars up to 22 LBS, with Detachable Long and Short Extension Plates — $19.99

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DW1XOCY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_idLmCbXVYHJKE

MHMYDZ 4 Pcs Black Steel Heavy Duty "L" Corner Brace Joint Angle Bracket Shelf Bracket Wall Hanging with Screws 125mmX75mm/5 InchX3 Inch Decorative Corner Brackets Joint Angle Bracket — $7.95

Also needed:

1. Philips screwdriver
2. 1/4” HSS drill bit

The Mounting Dream mounting kit actually comes with three separate bars — I only used the medium-sized bar in my application. Ultimately, I only used about 25% of the total kit. For the “L” brackets, I had to drill out the holes on the long side with a 1/4” bit to accommodate the TV mount screws. I had to use the spaces from the mounting kit to mount the speaker to the “L” brackets because of the length of the screws. They look a little weird, protruding from the bottom of the speaker. I could’ve shortened the screws with a hacksaw or found shorter screws at the hardware store, I suppose.

All in all, it took about a half hour to put it all together and $27.94 worth of parts that came in two days from Amazon.
